Securing workpiece
WARNING:
It is extremely important to always secure the
•
workpiece properly and tightly with the vise. Failure
to do so can cause the tool to be damaged and/or
the workpiece to be destroyed. PERSONAL
INJURY MAY ALSO RESULT. Also, after a cutting
operation, DO NOT raise the blade until the blade
has come to a complete stop.
CAUTION:
When cutting long workpieces, use supports that
•
are as high as the top surface level of the turn base.
Do not rely solely on the vertical vise and/or
horizontal vise to secure the workpiece.
Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece over
its entire length to avoid blade pinch and possible
KICKBACK.

Fence adjustment
WARNING:
Before operating the tool, make sure that the upper
•
and lower fences are secured firmly.
Before bevel-cutting, make sure that no part of the
•
tool contacts the upper and lower fences when
lowering the handle fully and pulling or pushing the
carriage all the way.
Fig.33
Fig.34
Sliding the fences to inside by loosening the clamping
screw only before miter-cutting allows support of
workpiece close to the saw blade.
Fig.35
To adjust the fences before bevel-cutting, loosen a lever
and slide the upper fence outward. Make a dry run with
the saw turned off and check clearance.
Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical
to provide maximum workpiece support, without
interfering with arm up and down movement. Tighten
lever securely. When the bevel operations are complete,
don't forget to relocate the fence.
NOTE:
For easy tightening/loosening, the position of the
•
lever can be changed according to your need by
pulling it up.
Vertical vise
Fig.36
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base. Insert the vise rod
into the hole in the base.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm
contacts the carriage, install the screw on the opposite
side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool
contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and
pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some part
contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
Turning the vise knob to 90° counterclockwise allows the
vise knob to be moved up and down, facilitating the
quick setting of workpiece. To secure the workpiece after
setting, turn it the vise knob clockwise.
CAUTION:
The workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn
•
base and guide fence with the vise during all operations.
Horizontal vise (optional accessory)
Fig.37
The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base. When performing
15° or greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on
the side opposite the direction in which the turn base is
to be turned.
Fig.38
By flipping the vise nut to the left, the vise is released,
and rapidly moves in and out. To grip the workpiece,
push the vise knob forward until the vise plate contacts
the workpiece and flip the vise nut to the right. Then turn
the vise knob clockwise to secure the workpiece.
The maximum width of workpiece which can be secured
by the horizontal vise is 215 mm.
CAUTION:
Always rotate the vise nut to the right fully when
•
securing the workpiece. Failure to do so may result
in insufficient securing of the workpiece. This could
cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause damage
to the blade or cause the loss of control, which can
result in PERSONAL INJURY.
When cutting out thin workpiece, such as base
•
boards, against the fence, always use the
horizontal vise.
Holders (Optional accessory)
Fig.39
The holders can be installed on either side as a
convenient means of holding workpieces horizontally.
Slip the holder rods into the holes in the base and adjust
their length according to the workpiece to be held. Then
tighten the holders securely with the screws.
CAUTION:
Always support long workpieces level with the top
•
surface of the turn base for accurate cuts and to
prevent dangerous loss of control of the tool.
